I closed a Citi AAdvantage Gold Mastercard (personal) 4 months ago. How strict is Citibank in enforcing this rule regarding closing accounts? Should I not bother applying?
24 months rather than 18 months is new, but the "or closed" bit is definitely not; yes, it will be enforced. If your only reason for applying is to get the bonus, then don't bother.
